Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibody subtype is the most abundant serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Rabbit anti-dog IgG is isolated by affinity isolation and conjugated to Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC)._x000D_ The variable region of IgG antibody is specific to antigens and is highly conserved. IgG has four subclasses- IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG2c._x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ Anti-Dog IgG (whole molecule)-FITC antibody is specific for dog IgG subclasses._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Purified dog IgG_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Dog IgG (whole molecule)-FITC antibody may be used for direct immunofluorescence using dog peripheral blood lymphocytes at a minimum working dilution of 1:32._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Storage and Stability_x000D_ For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month._x000D_ For extended storage, the solution may be frozen in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in "frost-free" freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibody provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections. IgG antibody has its function similar to IgM antibody in complement system activation. IgG participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III. It helps in opsonization, complement fixation and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity.
